Works with Bricscad (Windows) Classic, Pro and Platinum, Bricscad (Linux) Classic, Pro and Platinum
Constrains two entities to maintain a point of tangency to each other or their extensions.
This command is equivalent to the Tangent option of the GEOMCONSTRAINT command.
Accessing the Command
command bar: gctangent
menu bar: Parametric | 2D Constraints | Tangent
toolbar: 2D Constraints |
: gctangent
Prompts you in the command bar:
Select first object: (Select a line, polyline segment, circle, arc, ellipse or elliptical arc.)
Select second object: (Select a circle, arc, ellipse or elliptical arc; or a line or linear polyline segment, if the first object was not a line or polyline segment.)
The selected entities are placed tangent to each other.
Entities can be tangent even if they do not touch each other physically.
Command Options
